Der Zigeunerbaron -  (The Gypsy Baron)

Eisenstadt

Austria

At the Mörbisch Lake Festival this year, the "Gypsy Baron" will be performed, which, simply because of its content, fits perfectly into the ambience of the surrounding Burgenland landscape. "The Gypsy Baron" is one of the greatest stage works by Johann Strauss. He combines the lively waltz melodies of the golden Viennese operetta era with the fiery Csárdás sounds of Hungarian folk music. Johann Strauss would have liked to have seen his work, which was conceived as a "comic opera", on an opera stage. It was only years after his death that "Der Zigeunbaron" was performed in 1910 in the Dresden Semperoper and in the Vienna State Opera, which was then called the "Hofoperntheater". Songs like "Yes, the writing and the reading" and "Brick cattle and pork bacon"
